As an entrepreneur since childhood, Cameron Herold has helped businesses such as 1-800-GOT-JUNK? and UBarter.com become some of the most innovative and successful businesses in Canada. His entrepreneurial keynote speech focuses on getting children more involved in entrepreneurship at an early age. He argues that parents and educators should be instilling an entrepreneurial mentality in the minds of children in both the classroom and the home.
